I had one last time at 37+3. Didn’t prepare at all tbh just turned up on the day expecting nothing to happen. Took lots of books, magazines and snacks.
Sounds weird but take a pillow as the induction rooms didn’t have them (seriously!).

I had quite a fast labour with the induction but they did lead me into having an epidural as they kept saying ‘it’s recommended with an induction’. Because baby was born so quickly it hadn’t kicked in by the time she arrived so was ridiculous to have one really and did cause problems with placenta so ideally if I need another induction, I will try to go as intervention free as possible x

My date was also set yesterday for this Tuesday! It felt a bit of a shock. I think they prepare you for worst case scenario in terms of duration. A friend has suggested to download comedy shows on Netflix/amazon to keep you entertained. X

Oh good luck to you aswell ! I knew they wouldent let me go over 37 weeks but then when they brought it before 37 weeks it gives even less time to prepare !

Good
Idea on downloading things before hand think may have to pack more into bags now too just can’t seem to think of things extra may need etc if induction does take longer

35 weeks pregnant

Your baby now weighs about 2.4kg and measures around 46cm from head to toe. Soon, as the wall of your uterus (womb) and your belly stretch thinner and let in more light, your baby will begin to develop daily activity cycles. Read More
